Kate Beaton draws lots of wonderful comics, but my favorites are when she picks a piece of literature and teases the crap out of it. Like she did with Dracula. I don't have a lot to say about this other than, "Go! Read!"

31 Days of Dracula | Kate Beaton (2010)
Kate Beaton draws lots of wonderful comics, but my favorites are when she picks a piece of literature and teases the crap out of it. Like she did with Dracula. I don't have a lot to say about this other than, "Go! Read!"

Pass the Comics: Straight Up Nazi Fightin'
South Seas Girl must stop the Echoes of an A-Bomb
And she's got to fight a dirigible crew to do it. [The Comic Book Catacombs]
Wonder Woman Returns
Why isn't Kate Beaton making Wonder Woman comics instead of J Michael Straczynski? [There's also a funny X-Men comic in this episode of Hark! A Vagrant.]
Futura vs. The Heartless Trio
[Lady, That's My Skull]
Futura vs. The Winged Fishermen
[Lady, That's My Skull]
Futura, the Mariner Queen
Lady, That's My Skull's Futura series sadly comes to an end, but only because Sleestak has reached the last of the Golden Age issues. It finishes stronger than ever though, with hawk-men, space pirates, and a giant sea serpent. I'm going to miss these. So much so that I'm tempted to track down her appearance in Star Fems magazine from the '80s, but I suspect that I'd find a much different interpretation there.
[Update: Sleestak reminds me that he did a post on the Star Fems version a couple of years ago. His analysis should be enough to dissuade you from wanting to see the stories, but if you're like me and need to see for yourself, he's got links to the pages too. Of course, if you're like me, you also won't make it past page 8.]
Keeping my fingers crossed that Sleestak will post Mysta of the Moon stories next.

Pass the Comics: Well, You're a Big Jerk...
Where Prowls the Beast!
Golden Age Comic Book Stories ran a huge batch of Angelo Torres comics, including this Lost World-type one (about halfway down the page).
The Scarlet Letter
It gets even better, so hop over to Kate Beaton's site to finish the strip and read a couple of other literary* comics as well.
*Assuming that "literature" includes Hagar the Horrible.
